Quality Control III – Federal Construction

Our client is a well-established construction organisation delivering large-scale federal government construction and infrastructure projects across the United States.

They are currently supporting a significant $50M+ US Air Force federal construction project in Fort Smith, Arkansas, involving the renovation and replacement of five buildings.

The project incorporates a range of complex construction activities, including interior renovations, mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) installations, roofing and engineered metal buildings.

Due to the federal nature of the project, our client is looking to engage an experienced Quality Control professional with a strong background in federal government construction and General Contractor (GC) operations.

The successful candidate will take responsibility for overseeing and maintaining quality control standards across a major US Air Force federal construction project.

You will play a key role in ensuring all construction activities comply with federal requirements, contractual specifications and established quality standards, working closely with project management, field supervision, subcontractors and government representatives.

Key responsibilities include:

• Implementing and maintaining project-specific quality control procedures and documentation.

• Reviewing construction drawings, specifications, technical submittals and shop drawings.

• Conducting and overseeing preparatory, initial and follow-up inspections in line with the three-phase inspection process.

• Monitoring construction activities to ensure compliance with contract specifications and federal requirements.

• Coordinating inspections, testing and documentation across multiple construction disciplines.

• Identifying deficiencies and managing corrective actions through to resolution.

• Working closely with project management, subcontractors, field supervision and government representatives.

• Maintaining accurate quality control records, reports and project documentation throughout the project lifecycle.

Our client is seeking an experienced Quality Control Manager III with a proven track record overseeing quality control on major federal construction projects.

The ideal candidate will have substantial experience working directly for a General Contractor, with a thorough understanding of federal construction requirements, DoD standards and quality control procedures.

Essential experience and qualifications:

• Previous experience working on federal government construction projects, ideally with USACE, US Air Force, US Navy or other Department of Defense (DoD) agencies.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Architecture or Construction Management.
• Minimum 7 years of DoD design-build construction experience.
• At least 5 years of Quality Control Manager experience.
• Strong General Contractor-side construction experience.
• Experience delivering commercial, institutional or military building renovations and new construction.
• Thorough knowledge of federal construction specifications, quality control plans and inspection procedures.
• Experience reviewing construction drawings, technical submittals, shop drawings and project documentation.
• Strong communication, organisational and coordination skills.

Federal construction and General Contractor experience are critical for this opportunity. Candidates must demonstrate a strong understanding of working within federal project environments and overseeing quality control from the GC perspective. Subcontractor-only experience may not meet the requirements.
